Do you have the Break In switch on the front panel set to "ON"?   It's the 
switch just below  the AGC speed selector

If so, check terminal 9 for 6.3 vac.  (or maybe 12.6 vac, I forget which).  If 
you don't hear a relay click, when grounding terminal 9 AND the break in switch 
is ON, then either the relay is bad, or the ac voltage to the relay (through 
the BRK IN terminal) is interrupted somewhere.  If you can hear the relay 
close, and the radio still doesn't mute, then something else is amiss.
